최근 엔진의 고성능, 고출력화, 저연비화 Maintenance Free화에 따라 엔진의 부하가 증대되었고, Valve Seat에 대해서도 내마모성, 내열성, 내식성 향상이 요구되고 있다. 특히 무연가솔린과 LPG사용으로 내구성을 갖는 High Performance의 Valve Seat 재질을 요구하게 되었고, 엔진의 높은 작동온도등 가혹한 조건하에서 'Recession'이라 일컬어지는 Seat마모가 생기게 된다. Valve Seat는 일반적으로 분말야금법에 따라 제조되고 있으며, 엔진조건에 따라 여러가지의 재질이 사용되며, 높은 온도에서 열전도성과 기공의 산화방지 및 Valve 내구성 향상의 효과를 얻기 위하여 동용침을 하여 사용하는 추세이다. 본 실험에서는 Valve Seat 기공부위의 산화와 마모특성을 조사하기로 한다.

최근 여러 선진국 등에서 도시환경 보존을 위하여 천연가스 차량에 대한 관심이 고조되어 대부분 천연가스와 기존연료 검용차량을 개발하여 계속 시험 중에 있으며, 천연가스 전용 차량으로서는 미국의 포드사가 1984년에 AFV (alternative fuel vehicle)를 개발하였고 일본의 스즈끼 공업이 1988년 LNG(liquified natural gas) 전용 차량을 개발하여 실용화를 추진하고 있다. 천연가스연 료는 청정에너지라는 장점에 저렴한 가격, 풍부한 매장량, 기존 가솔린이나 디젤엔진 보다 4배 정도 긴 엔진 수명연장, 충돌시 푹발위험에 대한 안전성 등의 장점에도 불구하고 연료통의 큰 부피로 인한 단거리 운행 가능과 충분한 가스충진소 설치 문제 등의 단점이 있으나 최근 기술의 발전속도로 볼 때 이러한 문제점은 조만간에 해결될 것이며 자동차용으로 천연가스의 이용은 세계적으로 확실될 것이라 판단된다. 이러한 세계적인 추세에 따라 국내에서도 냉난방용으로 전기모터 대신 천연가스 엔진구동을 위해 개발에 착수하였으며 단계적으로 자동차용 천연가스 엔진개발을 계획하고 있다.

This study was performed to investigate the behavior of liquid and vapor phase of fuel mixtures with different piston cavity diameters in a optically accessible engine. The conventional engine was modified as Central Injected DI gasoline engine with swirl motion. Two dimensional spray fluorescence images of liquid and vapor phase were acquired to analyze spray behavior and fuel distribution inside of cylinder using exciplex fluorescence method. Piston cavity geometries were set by Type S, M and L. The results obtained are as follows. In the spray formation after SOI, the cone angle and width of the spray were decreased at late injection timing. With a fuel injection timing of BTDC $180^{\circ}C$, fuel was not greatly affected in a piston cavity but generally distributed as homogeneous mixture in the cylinder. With a fuel injection timings of BTDC $90{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, fuel mixture was widely distributed in near the cavity center. As a injection timing was late in the compression stroke, residual width of fuel mixture was narrow in proportion to piston cavity.

Optimizing in-cylinder flow such as tumble or swirl is one of the key factors to develop better internal combustion engines. Especially, the tumble, which is more dominant flow in current high performance gasoline engines, has significant effects on the fuel consumptions and exhaust emissions under part load conditions. The first step for the tumble optimization is to find an accurate but cost-effective way to measure the tumble ratio. From this point of view, tumble ratios from three different measuring methods were compared and correlated in this research. Steady flow rig, water rig, and PIV were utilized for that purpose. Engine dynamometer test was also performed to find out the effect of the tumble. The results show that the tumble ratios from those methods are well correlated and that the steady flow rig is the effective method to measure the tumble despite its limitations.

In this paper, we investigated the improvement of characteristics of knock, emission and fuel consumption rate by optimizing the location and size of water transfer holes in cylinder head gasket without change of engine water jacket design itself. The cooling system was modified in the direction of reducing the metal temperature in the head and increasing the metal temperature in the block. The optimization of water transfer holes in cylinder head gasket was obtained by "flow visualization test". The water transfer holes were concentrated in front side of the engine in order to reduce thermal boundary layer in the water jacket of No. 2 and No. 3 combustion changer in the cylinder head, which would have a large knock intensity, and increase thermal boundary layer in the water jacket of the cylinder block. When the modified coolant flow pattern was applied as proposed in this paper, the knock characteristic was improved. The spark timing was advanced up to 2$^{\circ}$ in low and middle speed range at a full load. In addition, HC emission at MBT was reduced by 5.2%, and the fuel consumption rate was decreased up to 1% in the driving condition of 2400 rpm and 250 KPa. However, since this coolant flow pattern mentioned in this paper might deteriorate the performance of vehicle cooling system due to the coolant flow rate reduction, a properly optimized point should be obtained. obtained.

Metal surface temperatures around the combustion chamber in a gasoline engine directly affect thermal durability and performance of the engine. Metal surface temperatures are influenced by many cooling factors such as drilled water passage, deflector, combustion chamber wall thickness, pillar, and coolant flow pattern. The object of this study is to learn how the coolant passages and coolant flow pattern in an engine influence to the engine metal surface temperature at engine full load and speed. From the test result, it is suggested a plan to reinforce the engine stiffness and to reduce the thermal stress simultaneously. Also, approaches are introduced to reduce the thermal load on the engine by adjusting the discharging direction from the water pump and by optimizing the water transfer holes in the cylinder head gasket. These methods and the optimized engine cooling system, which were suggested in this paper, were adapted for an engine in progress to eliminate the exhaust valve seat wear.

An experimental study on engine performance and emission characteristics for bio-alcohol fuels considered as RFS fuel. The Bio-alcohol fuel were mixed ethanol and butanol and used in a 1.8 liter mpi engine. The efficiency of the BSFC is excellent in the maximum torque operation condition and the part load operation condition. As the bio-alcohol mixing ratio increased, the lambda <1 and ignition timing advanced $5^{\circ}CA$. As the mixing concentration increased, NOx emission increase and $CO_2$ emission decreased.

A gasoline-fueled stratified charge compression ignition (SCCI) engine with both direct fuel injection and intake temperature and compression ratio was examined. The fuel was injected directly by using the high temperature resulting from heating intake port. With this injection strategy, the SCCI combustion region was expanded dramatically without any increase in NOx emissions which were seen in the case of compression stroke injection. Injection timing during the intake temperature was found to be an important parameter that affects the SCCI region width. The effect of mixture stratification and the effect of fuel reformation can be utilized to reduce the required intake temperature for suitable SCCI combustion under each set of engine speed and compression ratio conditions.

Ultra lean combustion with stratified air-fuel mixture is one of the methods that can improve fuel economy of gasoline engines. The aim of this study is to show that how much fuel economy is improved and what are differences in engine control of the ultra lean combustion compared with stoichiometric combustion. In this study, the BMW N53 GDI engine, which is one of ultra lean combustion GDI engines introduced in the market recently, was tested at various engine operating conditions. Results indicated that fuel consumption rates were improved by 11.9~25.8% by the ultra lean combustion compared with stoichiometric combustion. It was also found that multiple fuel injection, multiple spark, early intake valve opening, and large vlave overlap duration were the features of the ultra lean combustion for combustion stability and emission improvement.
